Well well well. I'll start popping my popcorn right away and await all the cry posts about the HC will be too tough and needs to be re-balanced. Good to know that you're happy now, for now at least :)

I honestly don't see how it would be too hard. Only even somewhat tough combo will be Invasion+Onslaught but that only happens once.

I love the progression of event properties - both the overall idea and the specific execution. Reaching maps in those first 4 days will be tough with two difficulty-increasing properties in effect, but it means more time to try for carto boxes when Ambush kicks in. Ambush boxes will stick around for a while, but vanish for the last 8 days (so no lucky last-minute high level carto box will give someone a big random exp boost). Nemesis and Invasion switch off and on throughout the league to keep everyone on their toes. And Onslaught kicks in a little more than halfway through to crank up the difficulty for the remainder of the league - awesome!

What about characters?
After this league ends in what league they will be transfered?
To Standard or Void?

Chris stated that if your character dies in the HC 1-month league it will go to standard. By that reasoning, one can safety assume that characters will go to their parent league when the month is over and not to a void league.

I wonder about the "league uniques will not stop". Does that mean that the uniques introduced in Ambush like Drillneck (which I assume is going to make it into core game) will not drop ?
